95th BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

The Liberty Turns 95! Celebrate with a silent film for our original price of a quarter.

In this silent classic, Judah Ben-Hur (Ramon Novarro) discovers that he has been betrayed by his childhood friend Messala (Francis X. Bushman), leading to separation from his family. Punished for an accident, Ben-Hur is unjustly forced to serve on a Roman ship, where he becomes a friend to the vessel's admiral, Quintus Arrius (Frank Currier). Eventually, Ben-Hur has the chance to compete against Messala in a chariot race, providing him with a shot at vengeance.

Doors open at 6pm. Will call tickets available in our Box Office at 2pm the day of the show. Bring your Liberty cup and enjoy a beverage while you watch! Cups and concessions available in our lower lobby.
